This series is open to studio teachers, public school teachers, conductors and pedagogy students and a different set of topics are explored each year.
Each session begins with a Master Class in which Peabody Preparatory students of a variety of levels perform unless a level for the class is specified. We will integrate work on the session topic into the music the student is performing to help integrate their technical and musical practice and understanding.
A Teacher Workshop on the day’s topic follows – Bring your instruments and your questions for an interactive session.
Registration will close Friday noon the day prior to class. The zoom link will be emailed to registered participants after noon the day prior to class. A recording link will be sent to all participants within 3 days after the class and will be viewable for one month.
